About Billa Billa

Billa Billa is a vast and sparsely populated rural locality in the Goondiwindi Region of southern Queensland, situated approximately 43 kilometres north of Goondiwindi and 330 kilometres west-south-west of Brisbane. Covering 606 square kilometres yet home to just 111 residents at the 2021 census, Billa Billa is one of Queensland's most thinly settled localities, with a density of less than 0.2 people per square kilometre. The terrain is characterised by open black soil plains and extensive dryland cropping and grazing properties typical of the Darling Downs and Border Rivers region.

Agriculture — particularly sorghum, wheat, cotton, and cattle grazing — defines life in Billa Billa, and the community is deeply connected to the rhythms of the land and seasonal harvests. Residents rely on Goondiwindi for most services, shopping, schooling, and medical needs, making the town a vital hub for the surrounding agricultural district. The wide open skies, quiet roads, and proximity to the Macintyre River system offer a genuine outback pastoral experience for those who call this remote corner of Queensland home.

Billa Billa falls under postcode 4390 and is governed by the Goondiwindi Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Southern Downs electorate.
